Sainter's Dolmen
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Rock Outcrop
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 5th Apr 2007
Sainter's Dolmen submitted by TimPrevett on 5th Apr 2007. In 1878, JD Sainter recorded a number of antiquities in the area. Besides the Bawdstone further east, was this rock outcrop, which he regarded as a dolmen having a robbed out cist. The rocks look nearly identical now, as they did 130 years ago in his sketch of the stones.

Site Type: Henge
Country: England (Staffordshire)

National Memorial Arboretum submitted by TimPrevett on 28th May 2007. Looking east between two of the many regimental monuments at the National Memorial Arboretum. The area of unmown grass, yarrow, cow parsley etc between the two is the site of a triple ditched barrow, or maybe even a henge, not far from the River Tame.

Alrewas Cursus
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Cursus
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 28th May 2007
Alrewas Cursus submitted by TimPrevett on 28th May 2007. Looking from Croxall Lane, next to the railway signal box, the end of a rectilinear feature can be made out, arguably. See the Flash Earth image close up. This was part of a cursus... now bisected by the imperious A38, running along the course of the Roman Ryknild St. Cursus now descheduled.

Site Type: Causewayed Enclosure
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 28th May 2007
Alrewas Causewayed Enclosure submitted by TimPrevett on 28th May 2007. Looking SE on the dog leg of the road where Sale Lane and Daisy Lane meet. Evidence suggests a Neolithic Causewayed Enclosure at this site. NMR records: "The enclosure is situated on fairly level ground 2km south of the River Trent and 3.25km east of its tributaries, the Rivers Tame and Mease. The innermost circuit measures 168 metres by 215 metres, while the outermost is 205 metres by circa 250 metres. The circuits are generally around 10 metres apart."

Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 26th Jul 2007
Bunbury Hillfort (Alton Towers) submitted by TimPrevett on 26th Jul 2007. People have been coming to the site of Alton Towers since at least the Iron Age. Within the grounds of the now Theme Park survive the slight earthworks of univallate hillfort, which makes use of the spur above the Churnet Valley. This view shows the site from the south, in Alton.

Boltstone
Date Added: 18th Sep 2010
Site Type: Standing Stone (Menhir)
Country: England (Staffordshire)
Visited: Yes on 4th Aug 2007
Boltstone submitted by TimPrevett on 4th Aug 2007. Within the view presented of this field once stood The Boltstone. No trace survives, it seems, as the farmer destroyed it looking for fabled treasure beneath it in 1839 - so the story goes. Not far to the NW of Kinver hillfort, off Bannut Tree Lane, near the footpath shown cutting across the field.

SS854463
Date Visited Wednesday 3rd May 2000
These two sizeable stones, likely barrow remnants, situated a couple miles west of Porlock, and several miles east of Lynton, are easily accessible.
Heading west from Porlock (the hill coming out of Porlock is VERY steep and not for the faint hearted!), keep an eye out for a fork in the A39. When you see the fork, keep going along the A39; to the right there are two car parks; take the second car park, as this puts you within one ...

Counted 30 stones, many under the heather & some lying loose on the ground. It is a large diameter circle making it impossible to photograph as a whole. There are four larger stones at the top end of the circle and four more the same at the bottom end.

SS832473
Date Visited Sunday 7th May 2000
Due to the explicit request not to go off the path, I did not get much evidence of the stone row. This was maddeningly frustrating, given its imminent proximity! However, having studied the map, I went back to where the car was parked, turned left further up the track, and then left up another track, where it intersects the stone row (fenced off with barbed wire). Two stones were just visible to my left through the dense ov...
